- Several deported activists reported mistreatment including confiscation of medicines, intimidation with dogs, and stress, while Israel's Foreign Ministry denied these allegations as brazen lies.
- The interception triggered global protests, large demonstrations in Rome, Buenos Aires and Istanbul, and criticism from governments including Turkey, Colombia, and Pakistan.
- Calls for government action include a New Zealand Green Party plea to sanction Israel and ensure safe return of detained nationals, while all 68 MPs are urged to support a bill for sanctions.
